It was pretty much set in stone since it was announced that Todd Haynes would be turning to television that Killer Films "Mildred Pierce" would be housed at HBO. The deal is done and they have the house keys. The network has confirmed that the five-hour miniseries will be co-produced with MGM, Killer Films and John Wells Prods. Production begins in April, in New York and while no other cast have been mentioned, I imagine it won't be a major problem to find some gents to play alongside Kate Winslet who is of course playing the film's tragi-queen, and I'm looking forward in seeing who'll be cast as the troublemaking daughter Veda.

When the project was announced, I started thinking of the Far From Heaven melodrama type, and when Kate Winslet's name is tossed around I think of her in Revolutionary Road. Other than Pedro, there is no better director out there directing women.

It was a Slumdog Millionnaire kind of night and it was nice to see the totally unprepared Kate Winslet pick up matching statuettes -- but the behind the scenes players were also the big winners of the night. The first that comes to mind as an afterthought from the ones mentioned and underlined in some of those acceptance speeches is Peter Rice.
